Overview

  • The deal, reported by ESPN and The Athletic, is framed as a salary dump that prioritizes roster and financial flexibility near the deadline.
  • The move positions Philadelphia to convert two-way forward Dominick Barlow to a standard NBA contract after he has started 33 games this season.
  • Philadelphia is about $5.3 million below the luxury-tax threshold with two open roster spots prior to any conversions, per local reporting.
  • Eric Gordon, on an expiring salary just under $2.3 million, appeared in six games this season for the Sixers, averaging 5.5 points and shooting 57.1% from three.
  • After sending Jared McCain to Oklahoma City for picks earlier in the week, the team has also targeted converting Jabari Walker from a two-way deal, according to reports.
